Has anyone attempted to fit 6 oz on this winder? If yes, please let me know how it went. If no, please don't respond. Thank you :)

I can't even get 4 oz to wind into a single cake on this. 6 oz would require two cakes using this winder. I'm ditching mine and purchasing either the Royal or KnitPicks brand. This one is very rickety. The metal yarn holder has never worked. I have to hold it up with my left and wind with my right. The platform is too small and yarn slides off of it and starts to wrap around the base. When this happens, you have to pull that back out and rewind. Spend the extra money on the Royal or KP. You can find the Royal on sale for $45 and the KP on sale for $20. Good luck.

Hi - I don't have a 6" installed but I was going to do it in the future for my table saw. I think it can only help. The double 4" adapter comes off the unit and a 6" fitting is behind it. My unit has a 5" hose from the blower to the filter. Good Luck.

Thanks, all of you, for your helpful responses.Helen, you emphasize "using properly....ie. rolling it so that it can fit perfectly in your ear," which matches the directions by Flents. But my main complaint -- it's my 2nd question, which (so far) has no responses -- is that some Flent cylinders are too small. (plug-size varies) And after a few uses, all BECOME too small. And most other brands, especially bell-shapes, BEGIN too small. The "rolling" you describe is useful if the cylinder-plug is too large, but the plugs are too small for my ears.

THE reel is about a foot wide and with the round hose, I find that I have to guide it as the guide lets it build up and not wind evenly. I don't see why that wouldn't work with a flat hose or take the guide off of the auger that is intended to distribute the hose evenly to allow it to wind in one place. It really does a great job of pulling in the hose weight without any effort on my part except for the guiding that I mentioned.

Im 6 ft 5in and it works fine with me. I do understand we are from different worlds here. BUT. i did have a friend of mine who is about 5 ft 6 crack it perfectly fine.... its more about if you are strong enough to whip it

You can drill a hole in the bottom of the winder's shank and force fit one of the bits into it. Make sure the hole is smaller than the bit and heat the bit a bit and melt it into the shank.That's how I did it.

I really like my Suncast autowind hose reel. I would recommend not using a hose that is too heavy duty or too large. After a year the rewind engagement handle broke and I found it was poorly designed. I contacted Suncast and they are shipping me a new handle. Be real carefully when engaging this handle or you could experience the same dilemma. I hope my replacement handle has been re-engineered. Good Luck.

No. You have to supply the cord. I used a standard 100 ft. cord and it fits very easily on the winder.

I just read the question again and if you mean making it triple kingpin; that works aswel just raises it about a full inch, and makes it really "seesaw"ish like your riding on the top of a really sharp triangle the turns are quick and precise (w/triple kingpin) but it works well surprisingly, these trucks are well designed but I wouldn't take them off any curbs the hanger looks thin but I bought the widest ones, I suggest getting the second largest hanger size bc they cruise faster turn sharper and have less chance of bending; Feel free to ask more questions

I have 3 of these and I can say that on take off the blades never spin exactly the same. Try a windless day and give yourself plenty of room then give it enough to get 8 foot in the air and you will find with some practice you will gain control. It is not something that happens in the first 3 or 4 tries. My hope is you have not given it enough power to really get in the air.

Interesting you asked. I had previously bought 6.7 and there was NO ounce designation on the order I just placed. What came was 4.0 ounces. Shame on me for ordering it without knowing ounces and why it was not shown on site surprised me. Won't let that happen again.

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

I found all my runout (more than you) to be in the spindle. I emailed WEN customer support and they are sending me a new spindle. I hope that swapping it out will get me the results many others have had. I have many MT#2 tapers and chucks that all run true, so if the spindle is correct, everything else should fall into place.

Very soft tip on this thing. I wouldn't go over 1 1/4 oz. I used 1 oz cast masters no problem with a wright and McGill 2500 saltwater reel and 20 pound Seaguar Kanzen braid.......casts a mile.

I have a Hugo elite with four eight inch wheels. It handles much better on any obstruction it encounters. For some reason, eight inch wheels in front doesn't function as a rollator with four. Might have something to do with having front wheels directly below hand grips. Geometry?.

I broke 2 of them on the same day. One comment was to make sure that you don't over tighten them, so try that. The other problem that I have with them is that they are too short. There is a formula that I don't recall that gives you the proper length based on the distance from oarlock to oarlock. Using that, the oars should be 6'6" not 4'6" as provided. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a 6'6" oar with a small enough diameter to fit in these enclosed oarlocks. The issue isn't really I problem as I have the motor mount and use my trolling motor as the primary means of getting around. I use the oars as a backup and since I've purchased several Intex boats, I have backup spares if needed. I wouldn't let the oars deter you from getting the boat, maybe consider a backup plan though.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the question. Our compliments on your taste. This is one of our favorite fans. Unfortunately, we cannot find that there is any 6" downrod available for this fan. It comes with a 4.5" downrod, and there are longer ones available, but they start at 12" and higher. We're not sure if you'd be interested in something longer than 6". Mike, here's our recommendation. Give us a call to speak with one of our experts. They may be able to find a 6" downrod that works for this fan, so you can get exactly what you're looking for. Luckily, they know everything, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193
